Lieutenant Yamamoto
Aurora Harbor. I did my first tour here, twenty years ago. Prettiest water in the sector — you'd never know from up here today.
PILOT
You've been quiet all briefing, Yamamoto. What aren't you saying?
Lieutenant Yamamoto
That I left a family behind to fly these things, and I never once told them why. Old men get talkative before big battles. Ignore me.
Major Kenji
Enemy fleet on the horizon. All wings — this one's going to hurt. Fly like your wingman's life depends on it, because it does.

Lieutenant Yamamoto
STATIC: —missile spread's through, I'm the only angle. Kenji, tell my daughter... tell her the money was never the reason. The reason was she gets to grow old.
Major Kenji
Yamamoto, break off. BREAK OFF. That's an order—
Lieutenant Yamamoto
STATIC: First order I ever ignored. Been an honor, Phoenix.
Major Kenji
...
PILOT
...Impact confirmed. The carrier's gone. He took it with him.
Major Kenji
Log it. Then fly. We mourn on the ground — that's the deal. That's always been the deal.

Lieutenant Yamamoto
Aurora Harbor. First tour I ever flew was right here, twenty years back. Funny what stays the same and what does not.
Sergeant Yuki
twenty years, sir? were the fish worth writing home about at least
Lieutenant Yamamoto
Never once caught one. Kept going back anyway. That is most of what you need to know about me, Sergeant.
Ensign Asami
when this is over we are all going fishing and NOBODY is allowed to bring a rifle

Sergeant Yuki
is it me or did Lieutenant Yamamoto sound like he was saying goodbye back there
Ensign Asami
do not think like that yuki. he is a twenty year veteran, he has said goodbye a hundred times and come back a hundred times

Lieutenant Nakamura
Carrier signature just dropped off every board at once. I have no readout for what that means and I am not going to guess on an open channel.
